How Carla Lynne Hall started their logo design journey

Company name

Rock Star Life Lessons

Overview

Hi there! I'm Carla, a musician and music marketing consultant. My latest CD, Supernova has been described as "Norah Jones meets Sade for tea on their way to visiting The Beatles". I've released three full-length CDs on my own label, Moxie Entertainment.

I've also written articles and books, and given lectures for indie musicians. I've created tons of DIY/Indie Musician content over the years, and I'm excited about having additional channels to share my vintage interviews with successful recording artists, such as Mary J. Blige and Patti LaBelle.

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

My blog and podcast are aimed at independent musicians around the world interested in marketing themselves and building their fanbases in order to sell more music.

Requirements

I need a set of 3 logos, with a clean main element used in all three. I need the following:
* A landscape banner header - "Rock Star Life Lessons"
* A square podcast logo - "Rock Star Life Lessons"
* A rectangle crest for a membership site - "Rock Star Life Lessons Academy"

The colors should be red background with white lettering. Black can be used as an accent. To get an idea of the color scheme, visit my blog at http://RockStarLifeLessons.com

My friends Sterling and Jay from the Internet Business Mastery podcast use a logo set that I admire, so please review their attached logo images to give you an example of what I want.

The main clean graphic that they use is an arrow, which is used in all three versions of the logo. Granted, my topic is music-related, so I'm not sure what which kind of graphic to use that is clean and duplicates well, but I am open to your ideas.
